DC says it looks too much like theirs and sues. Shoe company discovers DC never properly registered the swirl. Turns around and sues DC for Trademark infringement. DC is forced to pay the shoe company to use swirl logo.

Re: The NEW DC Logo
If your logo consists of two letters and you can't identify those two letters, it's a bad logo

That might be your opinion. Mine is that I can discern that its DC just fine. Not to mention that it says DC Comics right next to it and it likely will say that everywhere except for the bottom of the spines of books.

I had to look up the Discovery History channel since I had never heard of it. Turns out it's a UK-based station. Sounds like they show what History Channel used to be devoted to before reality programming. Wish they had it here. Better than that waste of space Planet Green which doesn't show any environmentally friendly programming at all anymore.

It's such a stupid logo. The peel effect is really dumb.
You would think DC a company full of talented artists would come up with something more presentable and creative.

Then they probably will have their ass handed to them in court again because of this one...

EDIT: Just noticed this was already mentioned. Oops!

Re: The NEW DC Logo
I agree that all the presentations we've seen so far include the DC Comics right along with it, but it's like you need to explain it every time. I don't think the average person just seeing the letters would identify anything other than the C.Another logo summary:

I don't mean to offend anyone here, but I follow different online communities for comic books, pro wrestling, video games, TV, etc. and by far comic book fans online are the worst. They over-react to every single little thing they disagree with and act like the sky is falling and every little move is going to be the end of comic books as we know it.

This is the biggest thing to happen to comic books since the New 52 man! Can't you see that?!

Worse than wrestling fans? C'mon now (and I'm a wrestling fan). If the WWF -> WWE change came about in the age of the internet, you'd hear nonstop whining all over the place.

I can't help but think if that thing was animated, once you peel off the foil it will only show a C. It also reminds me of those pesky tamper proof foil things that's impossible to rip off the tylenol bottles.
